PIONEERING MULTIMEDIA TECHNOLOGY
A dazzling array of communications and entertainment systems is also available as an option: Mercedes-AMG has devised a revolutionary office and multimedia equipment package for the Pullman limousine. The AMG Advanced Mobile Media System, as it has been called, comprises a high-performance, top-class integral solution which will allow business people to have all the usual facilities of an office at their disposal even when they're out on the road. Computer, internet/e-mail, TV and DVD — no other multimedia system currently offers such a combination of facilities.

This top-flight system is based on a specially developed, high-performance AMG in-car PC. Thanks to an HSCSD (High Speed Circuit Switched Data) modem or a GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) modem, the compact computer ensures high-speed internet access, allowing passengers to surf the web or send and receive e-mails during the journey. The transmission rate of 43,000 kbit/s guarantees quick access across the World-Wide Web. Whether you want to check up on your shares or download large files, the technology used makes any differences between this and a conventional internet connection in the office virtually imperceptible.

Large 10.4" monitors are also available as an alternative for surfing the internet. The flat monitors swivel out of the multimedia console at the push of a button. The separate keyboard is neatly stored away in a ruffled pocket positioned in front of the seat cushion and can be placed on one of the two tables available for working when in use. The monitors can also be used for watching the television programme currently selected or even the latest movies thanks to the DVD player. Thanks to a second TV tuner, different programmes can be watched on the monitors at the same time. State-of-the-art, high-resolution flat screen technology produces crystal-clear picture reproduction which is rich in contrast, guaranteeing unspoilt entertainment even in tricky lighting conditions.
